That's the beauty of CapnScurvy's "bandwidth" tuning, if you have some "chop" to the ocean. You are sometimes above, and sometimes below the 'target' with the beam. There is also the chance of "skipping" a rotation, so combined, as I mentioned, I have had a plane detected at 10nm, it disappears, and then the next warning is visual contact. If you're in a Narwhal Class, you are in trouble with a Tony. Good, fast airplanes - but not much armor.

but i understand your reasoning for putting the 40's into some planes. i don't like it but i understand it.
i do have the APR installed but we have not detected any radar to date, which makes me wonder if it is working. i seem to remember that there is no on/off switch, you install it and it operates. or do i remember incorrectly?

We really should try to make an appropriate ammo for a 20mm cannon, something stronger than the a plain bullet, yet not as strong as a 40mm explosion...
- We also need a 30mm cannon for the PT boats... lol
As for the APR, not too many planes have radar, and only certain locations have those, such as Rabaul and the larger bases. That would be the long-range planes, like some of the Betty planes, or the H6K Mavis or H8K Emily, and a few others. Seems to me that the Judy might get it later, as well as a few other single-engined planes, but usually the multi-crewed planes. The Tony never gets it (if I remember correctly...)
